Sometimes, when I sit down to write up a recipe post, I can’t find anything to say. This is one of those times.
Because, really, the beauty of this sandwich is that it’s so simple.
Grilled fish that cooks up quick on a George Foreman or other indoor grill.
Cajun seasoning kicks the flavor up a notch or three.
Homemade tartar sauce that is just mayo with a little sweet relish stirred in.

When I was growing up, my family always called sandwiches like this Wimpys. I’m not sure how old I was when I figured out that everyone else calls the Sloppy Joes.
When I made these, my intention was to just use a can of Manwich. But I couldn’t find it anywhere in the grocery. I looked in all the logical places, but no Manwich.
So, I decided to make some homemade. This recipe is adapted from Simply Recipes. Her recipe has ketchup and carrots. I used chili sauce and red peppers. Mine also has more meat, but I liked her base of seasonings although I skipped a few of the herbs and spices. Change this up for your tastes and pantry.

The kind of man who cuts down his neighbors trees under the cloak of darkness and sends three-legged dogs to Michigan (2 true stories that we don’t have time for now).
But don’t let his gruff exterior fool you. The man is a sweet heart, but he’s serious about his meat!
I’m pretty sure Uncle Larry will like this recipe and you will too. Here’s what you’ll need to make it: [Read more...]
